When you say deprogram, what do you think you believed that held you back the most, and what happened to make you actually act on your dreams? I agree with the other comment you sound like you’ve lived a very interesting experience that would be worth telling In a boom if you were interested in doing so.

Odd thing when I was teaching the power of positive self-talk in job clubs, the more _educated_ the participants were, the more sceptical they were. The supposedly less intelligent participants just did what I suggested and in a short while found either jobs, or at the very least a better self-image and outlook on life. I found it very rewarding.

I’ve seen a number of different TED talks now. I’ve found a few so incredibly inspirational. I’ve seen talks where the whole crowd is moved and you can sense it from their applause. Wondrous. But then what happens? I just forget about them and move on, maybe incorporating one peripheral thing from them into my life. In this talk, from outward appearances, this crowd did not seem to be all that engaged. Is that the reality, or were they perhaps too busy already envisioning the possibilities to more actively participate? For me, this might truly be the best TED talk I’ve seen yet. Just by listening to his method to reprogram my brain, I already know it’s going to work. You know when you just know? This is exactly the practical tool I need, that many of you probably need too. This one talk will enable me to be the person I’ve always wanted to be, and will put me in a much better position to act.

[@ericrounce8181]

This is a truly excellent review and I therefore agree with what you have written. The presenter is not a native speaker of English. His pronunciation is poor. His grammer poor. He seldom speaks in complete English sentence or thought pattern. He is not a polished presenter. All true. But...... He is able to connect with the audience through commonalities. He engages the audience into their own thoughts from the start. When he talks of his experience his audience relives it as their own. In that method his message becomes the message shared within the minds of the audience. My take away is he has deeply studied skills to allow him to overcome negative self talk. If it is a skill he can learn, everyone can learn the skills also.

KeyIdea : Think about what you are not good at. Write 10 things you want to be good at. Prioritize them and make affirmation about top 3 in present moment. Example : i eat healthy food. I love myself totally.) Write them, Record them in phone and listen to them two times a day while doing brushing or eating (fix it with some habit you do everyday, other wise you will forget it.) Keep doing it for 2 months, you will change eventually.

I think the audience must have simply reflecting to much to participate because he sure was going in a captivating way

[@johnstauffer8772]

The primary reason the human race rarely makes progress, socially, is because all first born are raised by parents who are new at the job and the learning curve is too long, so by the time the parents ever learn the good ways of parenting, if they ever do learn, the damage is already done. This pattern is repeated millennium after millennium!

[@---nobody---]

I agree. But that’s why we should be reparenting and reprogramming ourselves as adults.

[@karmageddon9136]

It's getting worse at a quicker rate as more and more people think that government can do a better job at parenting than the real parents.

[@jimmorrison4291]

Nah, surely not, because the context is far too narrow. What about societies that practice communal parenting? I thought that was common in history, perhaps less so in modern Western societies

Who was your music teacher? I will fight them. Unfortunately, this is a common trend among music teachers, and it's one that, as a music teacher myself, makes me quite upset. There are very few people that don't have a musical bone in their body. Singing is fun, and it pains me to hear that other teachers are punishing those who enjoy it by telling them to not do it. Oh, that infuriating phrase. I am hoping as a music teacher, I can program in kids' minds - "I CAN sing! I believe in my own abilities!" Great video!

[@VideoLeakPolice]

I was my own teacher. I made all my music only for me on multiple instruments. Making music for the fundamental reason and not to please, not to become famous or become rich but to express who ai am what I experience without as much as possible outside element that come corrupted. Imagine the freedom of expression.

And how powerful is that? To gain compliments to yourself based on something you believe to already be doing rather than just "wanna" be doing, magnificent. I can actually see how this can apply. My inner dialogue would start to adjust and I would gain this slow build of confidence just by reciting the creed of the NCO and look for such things as mentoring opportunities more, for instance.

[@ElectronicsGuy666]

This is how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works. It identifies your self-doubt, fears, and what affects your self esteem. Then gets back to your childhood and finds out who created those feelings and thoughts in you, and shows you why that thinking is flawed and you are really NOT those things you think about yourself. It changes people's lives.

[@growbydoing7290]

Except it doesn’t work as who cares where it came from. That’s allowing a excuse to not put in the effort to change.

[@growbydoing7290]

@davy boy Worse than that my friend, they’re designed to traumatize yourself, dwell upon the past and make yourself a victim. To then have you as a “patient” for decades with zero hope of improving. False promises and fake concern maybe tossed in as a freebie. No, the past doesn’t matter neither does knowing the source of a issue matter. Tools, habits, and practical applied are ALL THATS NEEDED. I can 100% guarantee that.

[@growbydoing7290]

@davy boy I knew people in therapy for 80 plus years, in hospice dying and still “dealing” with “issues” real or imagined from childhood. It’s quite the money making racket.

[@LeoBurca]

I can attest that this works. I've used it for years and it really changes how I perceive life and what I consider myself capable of. However I use it in the form of questions. Like "Why am I doing such a good job at work?" "Why am I enjoying such a happy relationship with x?" And I found that this is more powerful than affirmations (what he talked about) because it prompts your mind to find responses to these questions, and sometimes they are simple and uplifting, and sometimes they are practical. But I agree with him, if I wouldn't have had it recorded on my phone and part of my morning routine, I wouldn't have been consistent. Why are you so pro-active in uplifting your life? (see what I did there?)

[@lauraluca8378]

One of the best tedex speach! Bravo!

[@bircruz555]

He is right! Individuals ought to program, reinforce and affirm themselves according to their needs, gifts, inclinations and personalities. It works well. But it all amounts to a pointless exercise if individuals fail to plug the competing, more powerful and constant conditioning society floods them with Every Day. It defeats the effort. You get it from the movies, the commercials, the pulpit, peer groups, pop culture, peddlers of -isms and a thousand other sources. Find yourself and ignore all other voices. It works like a charm (from experience).

[@dragonstaye4557]

The real problem is that most children are not Called Into Being. They are accidents rather than Wanted children. Unwanted children means unprepared parents, making for a stressful situation for everybody involved. It is not parenting classes we need. Instead, we need education as to what it means to take loving responsibility for another Soul - for at least 18 years. And a confident freedom to say , "I am not ready yet for this responsibility." Human parenting is a most important "job" not to be taken lightly💜

It is the system and we can’t change the system. It’s always about what you can’t do. It’s about making you guilty of failing to keep you quiet and compliant. It’s about separating you from everyone else. It’s keeping you from taking risks because when you do and you fail you will stop and accept you are the problem. In reality the laws and rules are created to limit people from challenging the status quo and threatening their power and privilege

[@JoeNoshow27]

Genes and the DNA within them embodies the vast majority of our programming. Most of our individual programming has to do with epigenetics, which control which genes get turned on and off. Epigenetics can change over time, primarily from early life experiences, but they can also be passed down from parent to child to up to 3 generations. Thoughts and behavior can somewhat modulate epigenetics, but the older you get the more locked in they get. Most of your primary epigenetic changes will occur as an infant. If your thoughts and behavior are enough to reprogram yourself for the better, then you're fortunate. A lot of maladaptive epigenetic configurations can't be altered. And so you end up with millions suffering from chronic or recurring illness, self-destructive emotional responses and attributes or traits that are deleterious to quality of life. Cognitive-behavioral therapy can't help everyone.

Although I would agree that our brain comes programmed to only survive and reproduce. Survival is not only fighting,running, and eating. In fact, it is also cooperating, being competent, aquiring knowledge. You say that different societies morality will be different this shows morality is subjective. I say that within a social group our morality changes given the conditions. However, there will always be some aspect of mercy, empathy, mutualism. As without it a social order would be impossible to begin with.

what he suggests at the end is "suppress the voice that tells you negative things" by saying untrue stuff that one part of you doesn´t believe, instead of taking it in and embrace it as a part of yourself that is desperate and taking care of it... So what happens in the 10 days after is that this voice is completely shut down into the unconscious, but will yet cause problems in your life, maybe even more than before... It´s not shut down forever and isn´t just non-existent now... It´s just pushed away. Shame and self-rejection in other words. It´s like the spiritual teachers who tell you "you can become anything you want by creating your own reality" if you just say it enough times and then one day, it is supposed to happen/change magically one day.
